Members bieke Posted January 1, 2009 Members Share Posted January 1, 2009 The Shadows had tried the more powerful Fender Twin, but the Vox AC15 provided the sound they wanted, albeit with insufficient volume. Using two amplifiers each was rejected, and Vox finally came up with the legendary AC30, with the group taking delivery of four amps in late 1959. The AC30 was a 30 watt model with 12" twin speakers and EL84 output valves. Hank Marvin's amp was modified with a treble booster to provide a cleaner sound at high volume levels and this model was later sold commercially as the AC30 Top Boost. The very first AC30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members english_bob Posted January 1, 2009 Members Share Posted January 1, 2009 The classic early Shadows stuff is all AC15/AC30, but later on, Marvin used Roland JC120s and custom made amps by a company called KCP. IIRC, he also developed an amp with Cornell which never made it in to production... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andreas Posted January 1, 2009 Members Share Posted January 1, 2009 http://www.dc-developments.com/cornell_custom_Hank.htm You remember correctly - it never got into production. But if someone wanted one, I'd imagine Cornell can build it (but not as the "Hank" amp ). /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GarethG Posted December 15, 2020 Members Share Posted December 15, 2020 Personally, I thi k Hank is the most underrated guitarist of all time. He could wipe the floor with huge numbers of today's players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
